- Area # Numeric value with a default value 0
Methods :
- ExecArea ( ) # Method to calculate Area as

(d) Differentiate between static and dynamic binding in Python ? Give suitable
examples of each. (2)
Ans. Static Binding: It allows linking of function call to the function definition during
compilation of the program.
Dynamic Binding: It allows linking of a function during run time. That means the code of the
function that is to be linked with function call is unknown until it is executed. Dynamic
binding of functions makes the programs more flexible.
(e) Write two methods in Python using the concept of Function Overloading
(Polymorphism) to perform the following operations: (2)
(i) A function having one argument as Radius, to calculate Area of Circle as
3.14*Radius*Radius.
(ii) A function having two arguments as Base and Height, to calculate Area of right-angled
triangle as 0.5*Base* Height.
Ans. def Area(R):
print 3.14*R*R
def Area(B,H):
print 0.5*B*H
Note: Python does not support function overloading “ ​as illustrated in
the example shown above ​”. If you run the code, the second Area(B,H)
definition will overide the first one.
